Default Integra key won't turn !!

My friend's got a 94 RS and his key won't turn. We can't unlock the steering or start the car, and it's stuck here in my backyard. The key opens the doors fine, but it doesn't turn the ignition switch. What could be wrong?

Same thing happened to me at a gas station, and I started freaking out. Then I turned the steering wheel, heard a "click" and the car started!

jerk the sterring wheel side to side until it clicks.. that should solve your prob.. this has happened to me 2 or 3 times.. its odd.. but once you know the prob its not really anything to worry about

Teken: great to see you're back I haven't seen any posts from you in a while.

Thanks for the help guys. What we did was have the car jacked and the wheels were slightly turned and when we lowered it the key wouldn't turn, but when we jacked it back up so the wheels came off the floor it turned right away. I guess it did the same thing as turning the wheel slightly.

Thanks again guys!

first time that happend to me was when i took my moms keys to her 98 teg back in the day before it was handed down to me last year while she got the rsx type-s. I was outside playing around and all of a sudden the car wouldnt start because the wheel was locked but i had no idea what i did because i had been pretending like i was driving it or something while it was stationary. Meanwhile i ran inside and tried to keep my mom from leaving the house, but she had to run an errand and i watched from a window in fear and all of a sudden i saw her driving away. Good stuff
